That would be awesome. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to always stay on the same team as your friends.

I'll ask my roommate once I'm back at school tomorrow night. He plays TF2 a ton.

There's nothing you can really do about that. The autobalance is a rather annoying "feature".

It pissed me off so badly earlier today. I was on the winning team up until the last second. Then got switched and lost.

But on the other hand I've gotten to kill my husband on there several times guilt free cause of auto-balancing. Then again he's always gotten revenge.

I played a ton of the original TF, I have TF2, never touched it though, perhaps i should give it a try.

I play, but I'm not really any good, same as I'm not any good at Diplomacy, lol.

It's funny but I was recently thinking about how a game of Diplomacy played by the TF2 classes (with some pairing up) would go. A cool little fact is that Diplomacy was invented around the time TF2 is set. The countries distributed as so:

France-Spy

Russia-Heavy (I have more centres to start with? FEAR ME COWARDS!)

Germany-Medic (easy 3)

England-Soldier+Demoman
Soldier wanted to play America of course, but after finally accepting that there is no America is Dip, went for the only country that speaks the same language (had to ask first to find out which one speaks English). Demo picked Britain, as he (rightly) insists it should be called, cos it includes Scotland. The rest of team ignore him and call it England anyway.

Austria- Since actually the dual Austro-Hungarian Empire, this is the other paired one, with Engie and Pyro, since they rather work well together (spy check FTW). Plus, what with him/her not being able to talk clearly, it would seem unfair to have Pyro on their own.

Turkey-Sniper
Near the edge of the board, like how Sniper is away from the front lines, picking off people.

Italy-Scout
Left over, also I suppose the weakest of the countries (or so I've read), which Scout is amongst the team, unless played well (WHY WON'T YOU STOP JUMPING AND LET ME HIT YOU!)

Now, other than lots of drinking (esp from Demo), which goes without saying, how do people think the game would progress considering the classes personalities?

Could be interesting. I know the medic+heavy combo is killer. Not sure if Germany + Russia is as good.

Are we playing attack/defend in TF2? I know Spies and Scouts can be killer in taking centers.

I generally play Pyro or Medic, sometimes Soldier as well.

*Shameless plug* If you have TF2, or Steam in general, let it be known that there is a Webdip Steam group.

Already a member. I also have portal and Civ 5. Not sure if portal is multi player but I know Civ V is.

I know you are in it, as is Tom Bombadil and some other people. And some other people.

I have bought a few games off Steam (Red Orchestra, Far Cry, Hitman: Blood Money), bit I somewhat regret it now. The only reason I got in the first place was for Empire: TW.

I love Civ V and it's easy to get the extra DLC from steam. I have played Champions Online, but I found that City of Heroes was a bit more fun.

Portal isn't multiplayer but its a fantastic game. A 1st person puzzle game with humor and great twists.

It also takes place in the same universe as Half-life,

Celtic, you play City of Heroes? I've just recently been getting back into it majorly.

And yeah, Portal is a fun game. It's about the only thing I have on Steam because Steam released it for free at one point.

@SD I did haven't played in awhile because of SWTOR and Civ V. I got both TF2 and Portal for free. I love free games.

If you guys like the older classic games www.gog.com is a great place for them.

Meh, SWTOR. :)

I like it :P Which server do you play City of Heroes on?

Champion, mostly redside.

@Dark Epitaph if you ever decide to stop by.

I'll keep it in mind.
